Picture Trail's erratic behavior

A few years ago I opened a Picture Trail account to keep my Sims 1 pictures. Suddenly, without notice, the account was deleted. I sent several emails asking what happened and got no response (more evidence for the Lucy is Invisible theory). Nothing.

Now, suddenly, I get an email saying the account has been restored because they got a bigger server.

I don't trust them and I will soon figure out how to transfer the pictures to Scrapbook (I have no other copies because of the multiple backups failures of soon after that).
